Globecomm to provide wireless service in Missouri

A small wireless service provider in Missouri will expand its network by partnering with Hauppauge-based Globecomm, the local satellite communications company announced today.

The wireless company, Chariton Valley Wireless Services, services Northeast Missouri using the GSM wireless network. Globecomm will now host the carrier’s enhanced and extended GSM wireless network, allowing for the possibility of Chariton Valley to move from 2G and 3G wireless data platforms to the up and coming 4G platform. GSM is the wireless frequency used by national carriers AT&T and T-Mobile, while Verizon Wireless and Sprint operate on a CDMA system.

Globecomm officials said Chariton Valley’s migration will allow the company to more closely integrate multivendor wireless network infrastructures, while gaining a more stable, reliable network.
